Algeria. Yet another government move to block independant unions...
LabourStart.fr (the French version of LabourStart) is supporting a campaign launched by CISA, an association supporting independent unions in Algeria. After closing down their HQ earlier this year, the government has found a way to stop SNAPAP's President, Rachid Malaoui, from visiting Europe. On a previous stay in 2006, he was hospitalised for an emergency. By convention, his social security should have picked up the bill but didn't. Now French authorities are holding him personally responsible for 16,5 K€ and blocking visas to the Schengen area until it's paid. On a minimal algerian wage, no way can he manage that. As he should be attending official hearings on workers rights in Algeria as well as meeting unions in the near future... That's very convenient, isn't it? Any help, financial or otherwise, appreciated. Contact me via UnionBook or andy@labourstart.frAdd a Comment

Bien entendu, c'est une solution possible. Il n'en reste pas moins vrai que sa liberté est entravée par un blocage administratif inadmissible. Sa Sécu doit assumer ses frais de soins comme les conventions le prévoient pour tout citoyen algérien. Et la France, pays des droits de l'homme, peut très bien lever le blocage de ses visas dans le cadre de ses missions syndicales.

Salut Andy, pourquoi ne pas utiliser les technologies de l'information pour permettre à Rachid MALAOUI de participer aux réunions en Europe (skype+ amplificateur et haut-parleurs branchés sur le PC côté Europe peut peut être faire l'affaire, micro et pourquoi pas webcam côté algérien)
